Lying in bed, she suddenly felt completely drained.
The image that surfaced in her mind was still Gu Qichen’s icy face.
Xia Yangyang’s heart felt as if it was blocked by a stone.
She felt stifled as if struggling for breath.
Xia Yangyang turned over in bed when the door was flung open.
Seeing the figure confidently striding into the room, Xia Yangyang couldn’t help but frown.
“Xia Weiwei, it’s basic manners to knock before entering one’s room.”
Xia Weiwei crossed her arms, mocking condescendingly, “Xia Yangyang, this is my home, everything here is mine, and you’re no more than a pitiful tenant in my house. Also, I forgot to tell you; I changed the lock to our front door. There are only three keys and none of them are yours.”
“Xia Weiwei, I’m exhausted, don’t provoke me, otherwise, I promise you it won’t end well.”
“What, you want to hit me? Give it a rest. Xia Yangyang, I know you’re competent in Taekwondo, but you can’t do it. You’re living in our house solely on the basis of Dad’s guilt for you, aren’t you? If you act out, Dad wouldn’t look at you favorably anymore.”
Xia Yangyang didn’t get angry.
All the way from her childhood to the present, Xia Weiwei’s mockery had already become an expected element of life for her.
If Xia Yangyang quarreled over everything, she would only anger herself to death.
She could not afford to antagonize Xia Weiwei, but she could avoid her.
Xia Yangyang took out her noise-canceling headphones from under a pillow, put them on, and ignored Xia Weiwei. She closed her eyes and laid down.
Xia Weiwei carried on spitefully, “Xia Yangyang, did you have a quarrel with Gu Qichen? I told you before, how could a man like Gu Qichen ever find you appealing? You’re uninteresting and stiff. He was merely intrigued. Tell me, have you two divorced?”
Regardless of what Xia Weiwei had to say, Xia Yangyang simply ignored her.
Xia Weiwei was certain something happened between her and Gu Qichen because she knew Xia Yangyang’s nature.
Unless she had no other option and was forced into a corner, Xia Yangyang would rather die than return to this home.
Yet today, she came back, even late at night, undoubtedly had nowhere else to go-
She had just mentioned that Gu Qichen was on a business trip in Japan.
The moment Xia Weiwei heard this, she smiled internally. She had been following Gu Qichen’s movements closely; it was clear that he had not left on any business trip recently.
Xia Yangyang was lying, which affirmed her suspicions.
However, no matter how Xia Weiwei questioned her, Xia Yangyang essentially had no response.
Xia Weiwei hated this domineering air about Xia Yangyang the most.
She stepped forward and yanked the headphones off Xia Yangyang. “Are you deaf? Can’t you hear me talking to you?”
Xia Yangyang, however, quickly grabbed Xia Weiwei’s arm.
Her voice was as cold as ice: ” Give me my headphones back.”
Truth be told, her headphones weren’t even playing any sound, and she heard every word Xia Weiwei had to say clearly.
She knew in her heart that she should not contend with her.
However, Xia Weiwei continuously mentioning Gu Qichen’s name had finally led to her losing her temper.
Xia Weiwei’s wrist was grabbed painfully, eliciting a cry from her, “Xia Yangyang, let go, it hurts…”
Xia Yangyang flung Xia Weiwei aside, who sat on the floor. Her right hand trembled uncontrollably, “Xia Yangyang, you dare do this to me.”
Xia Yangyang stepped forward, picked up her headphones, and coldly uttered, “If you don’t leave now, do you want to lose your other hand too?”
Xia Weiwei gritted her teeth.
Usually, Xia Yangyang was very good-natured. No matter how she was berated, she would turn a blind eye, but today she suddenly fought back.
At least it affirmed one thing – everything she had said just now was true, which was why it angered her.
Even though Xia Weiwei’s hand hurt, her heart was gleeful. “Xia Yangyang, I’m not gonna quarrel with you. With you in this state, it’s no wonder Young Master Gu threw you out of the house.”
